There's more to gentle Zak Baker than is on the surface. The 6'4", burly 16-year-old attends high school with his best friend, Toby, where they are pretty much ignored as misfi ts. After school and on weekends Zak expresses his natural ability with dogs while working at a kennel. Zak is embarrassed but pleased when the kennel's owner, Pam, claims that he can "speak dog" because he is so good with them. Then Zak goes home. He lives alone with his mother in a rundown apartment above a pub/ restaurant. His mother, Adel, works at a grocery store, and when she comes home, she retreats to her recliner with the TV blaring and a drink in her hand. Years ago she had been a rich lawyer's wife with a g...

This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive and novel morphology, both general function with specialization, and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some clades and yet general similarity across many others. Across the chapters, different authors have addressed a variety of specific questions and provided their perspectives, but all explore the main themes described above to provide an overarching “primitive primate hand” thread to the book. Each chapter provides an in-depth review and critical account of the available literature, a balanced interpretation of the evidence from a variety of perspectives, and prospects for future research questions. In order to make this a useful resource for researchers at all levels, the basic structure of each chapter is the same, so that information can be easily consulted from chapter to chapter. An extensive reference list is provided at the end of each chapter so the reader has additional resources to address more specific questions or to find specific data.
